Hundreds rally for mental health at Mich. Capitol

May 8, 2013 | AP The state's 46 Community Mental Health agencies hosted the ninth annual "Walk-A-Mile in My Shoes" event Wednesday. The speakers included people who use community health services throughout the state.

May is national Mental Health Awareness Month. The group says the goal of the event is to combat the prejudices that can be associated with mental illnesses, developmental disabilities and substance abuse disorders.

They say one in five adults in Michigan will at some point in their life experience a mental health disorder. Many of those people don't get the treatment they need.
